Gosh.....I am using the free terragen and am strugglign badly with textures.....so am blown away by your wonderful picture! You call this a WIP but I would be thrilled if that were my work! Congratulations!

Fantastic job, outstanding sufaceing, cool set of clouds you got going there also.

very nice , water espacially excellent work!

ext work tyler, ext...extremely well done. The clouds need a spec of work, the mountains in the back could do with more terrain, the grass might be too green or just too bumpy, but the water...ah...the water. Well, i am a water freak, and this water is superb. Tell me, did u use a plugin? XLT WIP, hope to see it completed in the near future!! :D

thank you ancience for your comments: Everything you outlined, is exactly what I'm working on...The most difficult part about this render is on part of the texturing, the plugin is SOpack which i used for the image overlays, i also used worldmachine to create some masks and from there I altered each of the masks (photoshop) for different parts of the scene (ex. not only having "erosion" but "erosion 1, erosion 2...etc) As for the clouds...I have to try some variations of density and sky size, along with altitude....Well hopefully by the end of this week I'll have a good version of it... and by mid-next week the final render... Thanks for your input!!1

Yes...the clouds need work...the terrain, textures and colors are excellent...perhaps a bit oversharpened...(I too tend to like sharp and less hazy pics) but man...can't wait to see the finish of this already excellent pic!!!

Klasse Surface und Wasser !

Excellent work on surface, lightning and pov!!!!

The terrain, surfaces, pov and water are all excellent! Super, vibrant colours!

Everything on the ground (terrain, surfaces, water) is very, very good. The clouds are a problem. Change the cloud height (normally it comes up 8, and it's on the right middle of the cloud dialog). Make it about 2. That should help immensely.
